Remembering
Remembering those who gave their livesTo share the truth, and not the lies,Who sacrificed their lives so weFrom sin and self, we would be free. They served us well, if truth be told.They spoke the truth, and they were bold.They were not liked, not by the many.They were the few, and not the plenty. They … Continue reading Remembering
It’s Christmastime
It’s Christmastime all over the world,But what does that mean exactly? Shopping and presents and idols galore?Never yet satisfied. Always want more? Busily, hurriedly, racing for time?Gotta have this gift, and nothing to find? Santa and reindeer now fly through the air,Packing their presents, now done with a flair? Children all googled-eyed, caught by it … Continue reading It’s Christmastime
Death
When death comes a knocking on your door,Will you be ready to meet your Lord?Have you repented of all your sins?Have you made Jesus your Lord within? Or are you still living your life for self,While you put Jesus up on the shelf?Is your life consumed with pleasing you?Fulfilling your lusts is what you do? … Continue reading Death
Bitterness
Bitterness will eat you up,Make you now its slave.Bitterness will fill your cup,Drink from it always. Bitterness affects your life,Happiness not found.Bitterness will grind you up,Churning round and round. Must forgive if you be freeFrom what holds you down.Must depart from bitter roots,Or in them you’ll drown. Sadness steals the joyful heart,Turns a smile to … Continue reading Bitterness

How can you raise up a manWho is not who he sayWhile you picture Jesus ChristA babe in manger lay? Santa (Satan) is not God,He mimics him instead.Takes on all his attributesWith reindeer and a sled. Tells … Continue reading How Can You?

Christmas and Idol Worship
Christmas’s right around the corner,Comes from idol worship former,Instills idol worship further,Yet from many, not a murmur. Celebrates the idols plenty,Santa Claus and greed and money,Entertainment, fill your stomachs,Play your games, that is a sum up. Downplays Jesus in a manger,Elevates, instead, a stranger,Attributes of God giv’n to him,He’s the focus, all else is dim. … Continue reading Christmas and Idol Worship
